Aria dragons are a brightly-colored and sprightly breed, perhaps most adored for their lyric calls. Their song-like melodies fill the areas they inhabit; their coos resemble those of birds, only more elegant and refined. They have fairly strong magical capabilities, but tend to reserve these strengths for last-minute defense, choosing to live their lives in simple peace. Arias, sticking to the tropics, typically live quite far from human settlements, giving rise to the previously held belief that they had gone extinct.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Molly is another of Penthesilea's subclan of Amazon dragons. She chose "Satirica" as her title in reference to her greatest talent—poking fun at the powerful and making others laugh. She is a down-to-earth, warm-hearted, and good-natured lady dragon, who enjoys watching and commenting on the political game-playing of her fellow dragons, and their associated humans. She speaks up loudest for those with the least power, and is passionately furious with greed and selfishness—but she never speaks without humor, even when she's angriest. Perhaps especially when she's angriest. Her left wing is oddly stronger than her right, but she still flies straight and true.
